CGMBINATIOIN PRESSURE-GENERATGR, MIXER, All?) ENGINE.

of the Republic of Switzerland, and resident of the city of Jamestown, in the county of Chautauqua and Stateoit New York, have invented a new and useful Combination PressureGeneTator, Miner, and Engine, of which the following, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a full, clear, and exact description.

The invention relates to improvements in the combination of a heat or pressure generator, mixer and an engine in connection -'tl1erewith, and contains the claims for the entire combination, the heat generator be-' ing covered in my application for Letters Patent, Serial Number 372,869, filed May 10th, 1907, and the mixer application bears the same date as this application, Serial Number 401,551.

The object of the invention is to produce, preserve, and use direct the heat units of the fuel, either liquid or gaseous, to expand a medium, such as air, gas or Water, to drive a turbine engine by the expansive force of said medium; and toward this end to provide, first, an automatically adjustable com pression chamber and means for feeding either liquid or gaseous tuelto said chamber to be exploded. therein by compr ission; second, to provide means for controlling the I temperature of the heat in. the explosion chhmber by the injection 01 air or water; third, to provide a mixer or receiver for the products of combustion and other fluids and to equalize and control said fluids therein by the injection or air or Water as a cooling medium; fourth, to provide a gas turbine so constructed that it is driven and automatically balanced by the pressure of the heated mixture of geras,'air and steam; and fifth, to provide suit :ble means for the connection and cooperation of all of these parts in a single engine.

The letter 1 rates the mixer, receiver, heating or vaporizing chamber. 1

'l he letter C indie the turbine.

In the heat gem or A the numeral 10 indicates a double i. alled cylinder, which double Walls provide a space 11 for air or Water-cooling said cylinder. Either air or Water may be used in space 11. Cylinder 10 is arranged for air cooling with admittance for the air through opening 11. Air is referred for this purpose as the heat absorbed in the cooling process is more easily saved by the use of the air from space 11 to assist in the combustion, in a manner hereinafter set forth. l

The numeral 12 indicates a piston Working Within cylinder 10 and having a piston rod 13 and crank 14 to connect it With the main drive shaft 15 from turbine C in order to drive said iston. Piston 12 Works in one end of cylinder 10 and a valve piston 16 of the same diameter as piston 12 is slidably mounted in the opposite end from the Working piston 12. closing port 17 to the mixer B in the side of cylinder 10, and contains admission valve 18 for the fuel and air, "which valve is opened autoniatioall g by the suction of the downward or outward stroke oi: piston 12.

Above valve 18 is a mixing chamber 19 for the air and gas, to which chamber 19 the air is admitted through valve 20. The as fuel is admitted to chamber 19 through va do 21. Piston 14) is double cylindrical, that is, a cylinder Within a cyliiniler and the outer cylinder is divided at 22 to adr'nit the air to the outer space between the two Walls of the cylinders through valve 20 and pipe 23. The gas is admitted to the inner portion of piston 16 through pipe 2e and valve ports 25, suitable valves being provided in the pipes,26 for the gas and-27 for the air.

Piston 16 acts asa valve for.

IOU

. also formed beneath, piston 29 which is filled and decrease of volume in chamber 32 and with oil having a higher specific pressure than the oil in chamber 32; the difference in the specific pressure is caused by the difference in area of the two-oil bearing surfaces of piston 29. The pressure of the oil in chamber is diminished when the differ- ,ential piston 29 at the time of the explosion is moved upward by the explosion pressure on the explosion chamber surface of the piston 16. The upward movement of piston 29 causes an increase of volume in chamber 36 consequently a decrease of pressure in chamber 36 and increase of pressure in chamber 32. This increase of pressure on the oil in chamber 32, causes an upward resilient movement of piston 35 as' it overcomes the pressure of spring34 and thereby obtains a continuous increaseofpressure; When all the gases in the explosion-chamber are expelled and no gas pressure exists against the explosion chamber surface of piston 16, the pressure in chamber 32 actuating in the opposite direction has a tendency to throw back piston 16 and differential'piston 29 until a pressure in chamber 36 is produced equal to that in chamber 32. The oil in chamber 36 accordingly, has to nullify this rapid return movement until the pressures in both chambers are equali-zed.- It is therefore obvious that the oil'in these two chambers acts as a.

double cushion. The valve piston 16 and the differential piston 29 are held stationary by this balance of pressure except during the expelling of the product of combustion from the explosion chamber. The pressure in chamber 32, which gives to the valve piston a motionless position, should be as great or greater than the compression pressure which, is exerted on the surface of piston valve 16 in the explosion chamber to produce the temperature necessary to reach the self-igniting point of the fuel. The compression pressure necessary to produce the temperature for the self-igniting point differs according to the nature of the different fuels but in consequence of the pressure in chamber 32 this difference in pressure is regulated or taken care of. The pressure required in chamber 32 to hold the valve piston firm until pressure by compression of the combustible charge is reached to produce the temperature for the self-igniting point for each amount of fuel, will be varied or regulated by hand Wheel 37.

in order to attain the greatest efficiency it is necessary to have a heat or energy carrier for the heat and gases. it is also necessary to control the temperature of the heat and gases as well as the walls of the explosion chamber itself. Air, or water, or air and water coml'iincd, are the elements used for this double purpose and are injected into the explosion chamber in the following manner:

A duplex injection valve provided consist ing of a valve casing 38 which is slidably mounted in an opening in the side of cylinder 10. Casing 38 contains the seat for the i valve 39, which valve is supported on a suit able bracket 0n.th e cylinder 10. Valve 39 is controlled by means of a spring 40 which presses casing 38 against valve 39 with a pressure greater than the pressure necessary for ignition of the fuel within the explosion chamber in cylinder 10.

Valve 39 and its stem are pipe 42 is attached to the outer end of the same. Pipe 42 is connected to a pipe 66 and thereby to a compressed air tank 87, which air tank is charged by means of an air pump 88 having a piston 90 and operatingcrank 91 in a manner hereinafter set forth. A shut off valve 92 controls the admission of the air to pipe 42 from pipe 66. Pipe 42 has also an extension 93 with a shut off valve hollow and a 94 therein, which extension 93 is connected to a suitable water tank or to water under.

pressure so that water under pressure may.

be injected through pipe 42 and valve '39 through pipe 93. A chamber 41 is provided I in casing 38 just in the rear'of'the valve seat for valve 39 to receive the air, or water, or air and water, under pressure greater than the pressure in the explosion chamber, there being suitable holes from the hollow stem of tank 87 through pipes 66 and 42 and valve,

39 as above described. At times, however,

the heat generator in the explosion chamber is so great that the use of air asa controlling medium is not sufficient. Accordingly Water is then injected through pi cs 93 and 4:2 and valve 39. The superheate condition of the gases in the explosion chamber and the cylmder walls is reduced by means of the water, thereby giving control of the temperature of the explosion chamber and greatly prolongiiig the life of its metallic walls. It obvious that by such injection of water, steam will at once be generated absorbing a large quantity of the-heatand also that steam is an efficient energy carrier. It is also ob- .vious that by setting valves 92 and 94 both air and water may be used but it isdesmable to produce as small an amount of steam in the explosion chan'iber as will besufiicient to obtain the necessarycontrol of the temperature, as the latent heat of the steam sigmfies a loss.

The air or water or ai-rand water are injected. automatically by means of the pressure at the time of the explosion upon the plzttc 39, which pressure presses outward upon spring controlled casing 38 around vzllvc 39 which is held stationary, thereby allowing a certain amount of the controlling element or elements to be injected into the clunnber. it is also obvious that the force of the "plesion will control the amount of this p?- cuure consequentl of the controlling element which is injected into the chamber. Thus an automatic control is provided. for the temperature Within the explosion chamber. it is 'elso obvious thet the steam and. air will bebrought into perfect connection with the heat and hot roduet o'fcombustion and may then be creed out by means of the, explosion pressure end of piston 12.

instead of water as liquid it can be furrushed es vapor in the explosion chamber through. valve 39, and driven out in con- I nection with tbe'hentand gaseous product of combustion by piston 12 through port 17 into the mixer or V3.PO1LZG1 B. Further, 1nsteed of an: or water as liquld, or water as vapor, neutral gas may be injected into the explosion chamber, or a mixture of water and air, or cat water and natural gas, and" the amount of of these. fluids injected us an inergy terri r and cooling medium into the cyhno ll be regulated by the amount of energy generated by each explosion, as above described, and aid in giving a uniform tempereture and pressure in the vaporizer B".

Any part-of the injected water in the explosion chamber wh ch may not have time to l converted into the cylinder will urried out wi tseous product of uistion and and steam through und will there be of these different above described, into the mixer bed, but it is prebe err and water into the iller and very much higher heated space the explosion cylinder, since the heat will c more quickly sl'lsorbcd and the walls of much lower temperature as above stated.

unznng of all these elements,

desired. Accordingly the mixer B is constructed in its interior with a large heating surface'by means of projecting and interlapping partitions and preferably with a plurality of chambers with spring valvular connection through which the heated an, gases and vapor force themselves, thereby thoroughly intermiXi-ng and at the same time coming'under' control from their superheated state so as to form a usable motive fluid.

The various chambers of the mixer B are constructed by means of an outer casing 43, which may be made in suitable parts and bolted together, and a dividing partition 44 for a two chamber mixer, thereby forming the chambers 45 and 46. As above stated the heat and gescousproducts of combustion from the explosion chamber. enter chamber 45. Accordingly it is provided with a large heating surface, preferably by means of interlapping partitions 47 lhe number of partitions 47 is in accordance with the heating surface desired, and the space required to give the proper mixture of the products of combustion and the injected cooling medium, air or water, the necessary equality-of temperature.- The inter-lapping partitions 47 break up the hot products of combustion and mechanically mix them with the cooling medium.

Chambers 45 and. 46 are connected by means of valves 48 which extend through chamber 46 to valve seats 49 in the dividing Wall or partition 44. Valves 48 are pressed upon seats 49 by means of springs 50 and the pressure of the heated mixture within the chamber 46 with a pressure "equal "to or higher than the force of the products of combustion in chamber 45 on the valves 48. Springs 50 are placed in suit-able yokes 51. The pressurcof springs 50 is adjusted'by means of nuts 52. Chamber 46 is provided withan outlet 53 to the turbine (l. Outlet 53 is controlled by means of the cylindrical valve 54 slidably mounted upon it prolo'nga-' tion 55 of the turbine drum.

The cylindrical valve 54, is controlled by a governor which is mounted on the turbine shaft 15. According to the-speed of the turbine shaft 15 the governor 56 by its centrifugal force, will by moving cylindrical valve 54 back and forth increase or decrease the area of opening 53 and'according as a greater or less amount of the motive fluid is required. bythe' turbine. The outflow of the mixed motive fiuid from chamber 46 reduces the pressure within said chamber and the heated mixturein chamber 45 presses'through valves 48 whenever the force'ofthe mixture in chamber 45 is able to overcome the resisting pressure on valves 48. 'As soon as the pressure rises in chamber 46 .by this inflow from chamber 45, valves 48 willbe closed". Hence there will be copstant'opening mud closing of valves 48 and leakage of the mixture through said valves.

In order further to control or equalize the variatlon of pressure in chamber 46 arising from the 'flow through the large outlet valve area 53,'a piston 57 is provided in a suitable so that the oscillation of bell crank 60 due to the variation of pressure in chamber 46 will control the amount of fuel admitted to the heat generator. It is apparent that the desired degree of heat may thus be attained and continuously produced. Link 62 is also pivotally attached to lever 63 which turns valve 64 in air supply pipe 65 and the motion of link 62 will thus control the amount of cooling medium admitted to chamber 45 in proportion to the heat units in the amount of fuel admitted to the heat generator and the consequent force derived therefrom. Air supply pipe is continued by pipe 66 to chamber 46 and has valve 67 so that the air can be supplied as a cooling medium to chamber 46 should the temperature of the mixture become too high. It is desired, however, that the first chamber 45 shall be the main receiving chamber for the gaseous products of combustion andthe cooling medium as the highest temperature exits in chamber as 1t receives the products of combustion direct from the explosion chamber and a rapid decrease of temperature is necessary to avoid injury to the material of which the mixer is composed. The air, as

a cooling medium, will be admitted to chamber 46 by turning valve (37 by hand, since thisis only needed in en'iergencics.

Should the combustion chamber notbe suflicient to produce the steam for the purpose as stated chamber 41-5 is provided with means for't'he injection of water as follows:

- A needle valve 8 is provided in the casing of chamber 45 and controls the'openm g between chamber (39 .and chamber 45. Chamber (39 is filled with water by means of pipe 70, the water being under pressure greater than that existing in chamber 45. Needle valve 68 is pressed upon its seat by spring 71. The upper end ofthe stem of the needle valve 8 is attached to one arm of thebell crank 72. Crank 72- pivotally supported on a fixed arm 73 on the casing. The other arm of crank 72 is pivotally. attached to link 74, which link is connected to the injector 38 of the cooling mediumin the heat generator A.

- my invention.

variation in the turbine.

As above described, the injector of the cooling medium in the heat generator A is actuated by the explosion pressurein the explo sion chamber and this motion is transferred bylink 74 andbell crank 7 2 to needle valve 68. It is apparent that the height 'ofthe explosion or pressure in the heat generator will control the size of the opening for the valve 68 by controlling the distance which the needle valve is raised from the valve seat; and in consequence a lesser or, greater quantity of the cooling medium, such as water, will pass into chamber 45 where it will be vaporized by the absorption of heat from the gaseous products of combustion. Thus a uniform mixture of the gaseousprod certain temperature and pressure may be maintained in the mixing chambers.

Instead of air or water as a cooling medium, an inert gas may be injected into the gaseous products of combustion in chamber 45; or a mixture of water and air, or of water. and neutral gas, and the amount of any of these fluids injected as an energy carrier or cooling medium will be regulated so as to be in proportion to the over-production of heat produced by each explosion from a" certain quantity of fuel and air, which causes an overheating and decreasing of denfrom the fuel and air.

Thereceiver B is continually filled with the mixture of the products of'combustion and other fluids under high pressure from the explosion chamber in the generator AL The large circular opening 53 is provided in the side of the receiver B on chamber 46. It is obvious that a mixer with asingle chamber could have been arranged and this exit 53 could be arranged from chamber 45 direct into turbine C and not depart from It is found, however, that where one chamber contains a direct inlet from the heat generator and also the outlet to the turbine the pressure on the mixture within the mixer from the heat. generator is :apt to be transmitted to the outflowin mixture, and the mixture will cause speed It is therefore preferred that at least two chambers be provided as herein shown. preferably made in the form of a large circular valve which admits the heated mixtureto all sides of the turbine The turbine G consists of the shell or casing 75 which has opening 76 extending around the same to the exhaust port 77, also the bearing 78 for shaft 15.\ The turbine cylinder 7 t) is keyed to shaft 15-within shell 7 5 to be turned by said shaft. Cylinder 7 9.

is arranged at its outer end soas to provide nets of combustion, air and steam from a v sity of the resulting products of combustion The opening 53 is thechamber 80, pipes or closed openings 81 extendingthrough cylinder 79 to chamber 80 so that the steam, gaseous product of till till

see-oer combustion 'and heated air base through pipes 81 into chamber and balance or equalize the weight and pressure of cylinder 79. It is apparent that by adjusting the size of chamber 80 and pipes 81 to the weight of the cylinder, said cylinder miiy be placed in any position, vertical, horizontal, or at an angle, and the heated gas, steam, and heated air will form an. equalizing support for the some. .92. number of series of stationary blades 82 are olsced on the inner surface oi stationary Shell 1 5, and ii, number of alternate series or blades 83ers placed on the outer surface of revolnble cylinder '4'9. As the mixture of steam, slid heated air enters the turbine cylind er, it strikes the fixed blades 82 which ore so curved as to give the mixture a turn to one sidc.- The blades 83 on the turbine cylinder '79 are cupped in the opposite direction so'thet the cylinder 79 is given a swift rotative movement by the shape of the blades. A suflirient number of series or stationary and unovable blades are provided to exhaust entire force of the mixture. 1

The expansion of the mixture of heated steam, gas and heated air in the turbine takes pliice adiabatically, It is apparent that the mixture on its entrance to the turbine has; certain velocity and thahit will the retain this velocity while the increase of the steam replaces the contraction of the air and gas. The ideal is to'presei've this balance so that the mixture will have a constant velocity. This is hardly possible, however, since the Volume of steam on energy car-- rier' is preferably es smell as possible, as above stated; accordingly, it usually necessary to piece one or more decreasing steps 84in the diameter or" the cylinder Y5 and 79 est-he heated ge s end air increase and .contract. The nuinher of such steps however, is reduced to the minimum by the adiabatic eiipsnsionot heated steam, gas, and air as above l'lescribedv ln order to preserve a constant velocity the decreasing step S-Jl is necessitated zit} shah point when the increase of thovolunie or steam by expansion fails to maintain constant velocity by. the pressure hill sndcontraction of the fluid g'ascs.

The heat generstor [i which is on the driving shaft l5, will be storted into motion h 1 an electric motor or on other nowcr 1111-- til such time as si fiieient power can be produced from the generator in run the turbine, After the turbine is once running from the power produced by the generator alone, n certain portion of the pr luced. power will be utilized to run the heat goncrater.

The speed of the turbine is r oui:z'ollcd by a governor in; which. allucu to shaft to and has a link connection with cylindrical valve that the value It. will be notice? sent 53 contracts toward the turbine chamber as it passes from the mixing chamber to the turbine chamber, thereby forming, as it were, a big nozzle for the motive fluid. The fluid accordingly will have less velocity and greater mass when the valve is Widely open, and less and greater velocity when the valve is nearly closed. Valve 54 does not rotate with shaft 15 but is held from rotation by means of pin 85 on the inner side of the shell of receiver B, a slot being provided in the valve for pin 85, v The link connection of the governor is attached to ii band 86 which is rotatably mounted in a suitable groove in valve 54. It is apparent that should the speed of the turbine decrease, the governor 58 will cause the cylindrical valve 541- to move" along the shaft 15 causing the area of the opening 53 to increase end-s; less mat of the pressure of the mixture of the ot gases, steam and air through opening-53 will be transformed into kinetic energy. It will bear upon the blades 83 of the turbine with greater mass and less velocity which .will bring the turbine up to its normal speed after which the governor-'56 will by its centrifugal force :1 WE valve 54 along drum 55, thereby melting the area of the opening 53 less and causing lhe pressure in the receiver .13 to be raised and the mixture of ases thcm more compact and simplifies the control of the motive fluid 1n the mixer so that the fluid 1s equalized- 111 its pressure upon centric grouping of these parts which makes and passage through the nozzle of the valve seat 53 and consequently gives an equal pres sure upon all of the vanes surrounding the turbine 55. i

I will now describe the operation of the engine. In starting the engine, the heat generator A is uncoupled from the turbine C by means of it suitable clamp 95 on the main driving shaft 15. The generator A will be started into motion by an electric motor orany other suitable power.which is coupled on to tllc drive shaft 15 by s suitable clutch 96;. The opening 53 is closed by valve 54 by a lover, not shown, and the product of combustiou, heated air, and steam of the motive fluid are stored up in receiverE until u sufficient pressure is obtained to startthe turbine C. The valve 54 is then opened and. the mixture of the gaseous products of combuslion, hcuicd air and steam starts the turbine into rotation and will be governed by the governor 56. The clamp 95 is then closed and the clamp 96 is uncoupled, thereby transferrin the generator to the turbine, and therea ter a certain portion, of the turbines power will be utilized to run the heat generator.

The gas fuel is admitted through pipe 211- valves 26 and 21 to the mixing chamber 19, and the air is simultaneously admitted through ipe 23 and valves 27, and 20 to said mixing e amber. Hence, when the piston 12 chamber by the passage of part of the prod not of combustion and heat through port 17 the piston 10 will have a tendency to drop down and close port 17. To avoid this, piston 12 continues its inward stroke thereby always keeping the pressure on piston 16 greater than the pressure in chamber 32 and thus allowing and compelling the passage of the gaseous product of combustion and heat through port 17 into the mixer B until all a the gases and heat are driven out of the exproduct of combustion.

plosion chamber and piston 12 reaches its highest point or the dead center of arm 14,

40 -after which it will begin its outward stroke.

Piston 16 on account'of the pressure in chamber 32 will follow piston 12 downward in close connection closing port 17 and passing down until the ressure in chamber 36 equals the pressure 1n chamber 32. In this manner the capacity of the explosion cham her is controlled and none of the products-of combustion or heat areallowed to flow back I from the mixer into the compression cylinder.

After piston 16 reaches its balanced position closing port 17, )iston 12 continues its outward stroke there y causing a vacuum and the suction opens valve 18 admitting a new charge of air and gas into'th'e cylinder and the whole process is repeated.

- As above described, the moment the explosion occurs, the explosion pressure presses back piece 38 and water or air under pressure greater than the pressure 1n the explosion chamber, as a cooling medium will be injected into the explosioncylinder, coming into direct communication with the heat and The movement of the piece'88 and also the time of the injection of the water is regulated by the explosion pressure, so that the amount of water passing into chamber 80.

depends upon the height of the explosion pressure; that is, the higher the explosion pressure, the more the piece 38 will .be pressed back and accordingly more water or air will-be furnished. However, the Volume of steam from the water is small compared with the volume of heat produced.

Let it be noted thata special compression chamber is not needed in this invention like those used at the present time in all combustionand explosive engines. Instead the explosion occurs in a part of the cylinder through which the working piston passes.

According to the amount of gas and air sucked into the cylinder, the explosion will occur at any time of the compression stroke when the temperature of the fuel has reached its ignition point. The gases, heat, air, and steam are mixed in the receiver or mixer 13 by being driven back and forth aroundthe partitions 47 and thence passout through valve opening 53 into the turbine, where they, by the peculiar curve of blades 82 and 83, turn the turbine cylinder 79. same time a portion of the mixture balances the weight of the turbine cy1inder-79-by After passing through the series of blades 82 and 83., the mixture passes out through the channel 76 around cylinder and out of exhaust port 76.

It is apparent that by introducing both air and water into the explosion or combustion chamber and also into the mixer B, as desired, immediately after each recurring explosion, the temperature of the heat units is so controlled that nearly all the thermal units are utilized for the expansion of fluids; and that these are so combined as to get the least loss from the latentheatand condensa- At the I tion of the fluids. A condensation plant is not needed. It is also obvious that there is no change in the physical state of the air injected, so that the heat given to it is available for immediate conversion into work.
